Have cookies, will travel
Elijah Hall left recently with two other missionaries on his very first tribal survey trip. Moira Hall shares that for this adventure, Elijah packed his tent, machete and filtered water bottle, as well as some essential chocolate chip cookies.
Elijah and his coworkers then headed for a dry and dusty bush region to visit some villages of the Guarani Nandeva tribe, whom NTM is considering working with.
The purpose of this journey was to gather information regarding the languages spoken and understood by the Guarani Nandeva tribe. As this information is processed, it will be helpful in determining how to effectively assist this people group, perhaps with a translation of the Bible and Firm Foundations Bible lessons in their own language for the first time.
Please pray for Elijah and Moira in their ongoing language and cultural studies. Pray that any future efforts to reach out to the Guarani Nandeva people group will be spiritually profitable.
The Halls also ask that this prayer from Ephesians be offered up for them: That God will help them to “all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God” as they “grow up into Him in all things which is the head, even Christ.” (Ephesians 5: 13a, 15b)
